um twitter?

i signed up for a twitter account today.  i have no idea why.  i hate status updates on facebook, and twitter is basically just nonstop status updates.  (note: i made a facebook status about getting twitter).  anyway, i think i need someone to convince me why twitter=awesome, because i just don't get it.  also, "following" someone is difficult, how do you know it's legit for celebrity ones.

but i also don't really understand myspace.  

i guess im just a facebook kind of girl.

love keiko.

p.s. twitter
